They That Soar Too High, Often Fall

And He That Is Taught To Live Upon Little, Owes More To His Father's Wisdom, Than He That Has A Great Deal Left Him, Does To His Father's Care.

If A Civil Word Or Two Will Render A Man Happy, He Must Be A Wretch Indeed Who Will Not Give Them To Him. Such A Disposition Is Like Lighting Another Man's Candle By One's Own, Which Loses None Of Its Brilliancy By What The Other Gains.

The Only Fountain In The Wilderness Of Life, Where Man Drinks Of Water Totally Unmixed With Bitterness, Is That Which Gushes For Him In The Calm And Shady Recess Of Domestic Life.

Nothing But A Good Life Can Fit Men For A Better One Hereafter.

Never Give Out While There Is Hope; But Hope Not Beyond Reason, For That Shows More Desire Than Judgement.
